Enhancing Concrete Properties With The Use Of Coconut (coir) Fibers And Admixture

AbstractIn countries where industrialization is on the rise there is a corresponding increase in wasteproduction resulting from industries which eventually upsetsthe environment and communityfor which they provide. While most of these waste generated are hazardous and should bemanaged, others could be put to appropriate use either directly or after been recycled. Mostagro-waste can be recycled and be used asraw materialsfor manufacturing various products.This research is designed to investigate the effectiveness of the use of coconut fibers (coir) asa micro-reinforcement in concrete. The vario…
